Fruit Sweater Baby ENGLISH
Fruit Sweater Baby is worked top-down with a round yoke. The ribbed neckline is folded down and knitted together. Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back of the neck. The leaf pattern is then worked according to the chart, with increases incorporated throughout. The rest of the yoke is worked following the pattern charts, which are continued as the body and sleeves are knitted. Note: The charts do not include all stitches – only where the dots are to be placed.
The pattern will be sent as a PDF file in English, Danish and Norwegian to your email.

Size Guide
Fruit Sweater Baby is designed to have a positive ease of approx. 7–12 cm [2¾–4¾”]. The table below includes age guidelines based on average chest measurements, but all children are different. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a size based on the child’s actual chest measurement, not their age. If in doubt, or if the child’s chest measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size. The chest is measured at the widest point of the body (under the arms), which in baby and child sizes is typically around the tummy.
| Size | Circumference of the sweater | Circumference of the child | Approx. age |
| 1 | 47 cm [18½”] | 37–40 cm [14½–15¾”] | 0-3 months |
| 2 | 52 cm [20½”] | 41–44 cm [16¼–17¼”] | 3-6 months |
| 3 | 56 cm [22″] | 45-48 cm [17¾–19″] | 6-9 months |
| 4 | 60 cm [23½”] | 49-52 cm [19¼–20½”] | 9-12 months |
| 5 | 64 cm [25¼”] | 52–55 cm [20½–21¾”] | 1-2 years |
Example: If the child (regardless of age) has a chest measurement of 46 cm [18″], choose size 3, which has a finished chest measurement of 56 cm [22″].
